John Murray Classes week of Dec.13, 2010

All classes:

This is the last week of the term, if you want to bring work for crit, please do.

Otherwise try a work based on the Winter Solstice, which is only a week away. Having the Sun at its lowest point on the horizon has always produced some strange human behavior (not the least of which is Christmas!). Try a painting, assemblage or sculpture that conveys the darkness of the days and nights this time of years or go in the opposite direction as the woman above did. See you next week, john.

John Murray Classes week of Dec.6, 2010

Identity: name and attitude:

try a few small (14"x20"?) paintings around your name, face or other identity ideas you have about yourself. Here are 2 of mine. One of the great things about making art is the opportunity it gives you to indulge and explore yourself in fresh and unique ways. Try different techniques:

transfer a photo of yourself, do a loose poured acrylic version of your name? See you next week. john.
